Dungeon! - Core Spell List

Below you will find the Spell List for Dungeon!

Spells in Dungeon! are not separated by Class, Level, nor are they divided into magical domains. When you learn a Spell, you may choose any Spell.

If you find issue with the fact that a Mage can Heal and a Cleric can Cast Fireball, simply work with your GM to choose which Spells may be forbidden or unavailable to certain classes.

When it comes to Casting a Spell, all Spells require an Action to Cast, unless otherwise stated. Also, all Spells cost 1 Spell Point (SP) to Cast.

Finally, Spells in Dungeon! scale in power with the Caster’s Level. The letter "X" represents the Casters Level in the Spells below. If a Monster Casts a Spell, it uses its CR instead. In situations where "X" is divided and the outcome is not a whole number, always round down to a minimum of 1.
